Jesus may not look like the king we’d expect to see, or seem like the king we would ask for. And yet, Jesus is precisely the king we need.
Do you see God’s grace? By entering into a covenant with us – and making solemn promises, and giving visible signs, God is bending over backwards to us to prove his trustworthiness and goodness.
How did Jesus’s followers understand his life? What impact did Jesus have on the mission and message of his followers, and how should the events of his life impact us?
Those who understand the authority and goodness of Christ will want to faithfully follow Jesus, and will want to teach others to do the same.
